Chapter 450: Dedication
Gu Yumei saw that Chen was laughing at her, and wanted to fight back as usual, but she still remembered the lesson of the Wan family, and in the end she didn't shout out, she only lowered her head to do embroidery.
Chen saw that she had been obedient recently, and she didn't do anything more, so she continued to embroider, and with her patience, she wouldn't embroider at most.
Sure enough, after Gu Yumei embroidered for three years, she threw the embroidery picture embroidered with a few leaves in the box and didn't touch it again.
Gu Jinxiu has been embroidering things. During this time, she embroidered two pictures, one is a mid-autumn reunion, and the other is not a scene, but a scripture - the Song of Blessings.
In more than half a month, it is the Chung Yeung Festival in September, and the Song of Blessing Sutra is a prayer book, which is very suitable for the Chung Yeung Festival.
Gu Jinxiu thought that after embroidering the Song Fu Sutra, he would send the embroidery picture to Huaiyu Embroidery Village, and when the time came, he would officially reply to Grandma Li and be the embroiderer of Huaiyu Embroidery Village.
After discussion, the family has decided to let Gu Jinxiu be an embroiderer and sign a three-year contract with Huaiyu Embroidery Village. In the past three years, her embroidery will only be sold to Huaiyu Embroidery Village. Three years later, she was completely free, and she could embroider whatever she wanted.
The third grandmother said: "Embroiderers are scarce and expensive, let's only sign a three-year contract, can Huaiyu Embroidery Village agree?" ”
Gu Jinli said: "Grandma Li is an open-minded person, since she has taken a fancy to the eldest sister's embroidery and asked her to be an embroiderer, she will give the eldest sister the honor of embroiderer." Again, our family is not the kind of people who have no righteousness, although the eldest sister is completely free after three years, but it is better to be cooked than to be raw, and if the eldest sister has embroidery in the future, it will be sent to Huaiyu Embroidery Village first. ”
Since the embroiderer can be as famous as the literati maniac, he will care about his reputation as much as the literati maniac, so Grandma Li is not worried about this at all.
And today's Huaiyu Embroidery Village, there are also two more famous embroiderers in the dynasty who did not sign a contract but put the embroidery in Huaiyu Embroidery Village for consignment.
"Then when the time comes, sign the contract, is Sister Xiu'er going to Huaiyu Embroidery Village?" The third grandmother looked at Gu Jinxiu and said worriedly: "Sister Xiu'er is old, and she looks good, if you can not go far or don't go far, Huaiyu Embroidery Village is far away from our Tianfu County." ”
A girl's family, go to Huaiyu Embroidery Village so far away, if something happens on the way, but it can't be cried to death.
Cui Shi was also worried about this and looked at Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's ask Mrs. Jiang first, if you don't have to go to Huaiyu Embroidery Village in person, it's best." ”
That's why she has always asked her family to insist on practicing her fists and feet. Her family is not a famous family, and there are no groups of subordinates to protect her, so she can only practice her fists and feet to protect herself.
Gu Jinxiu was embroidering her own font size, and after embroidering the word Fu'an, she finished the embroidery thread, and said to the third grandmother and Cui's: "Third grandmother, mother, don't worry, I will be very careful, if you can't take care of it, this embroiderer won't do it." ”
She loves embroidery and wants to be an embroiderer, but there are not many things in the world that can do the best of both worlds. Weighing the pros and cons, she will choose a method that is good for herself and her family, and will not bring trouble to the family because of a preference.
The third grandmother nodded and said, "The third grandmother naturally believes in you, and you don't bother people." ”
Sister Xiu'er has a tenacity, very calm, just sitting upright like this, can give people a very down-to-earth feeling.
"Fish, I made you a new batch of mosquito coil abrasives, and I will move you to the pharmaceutical workshop tomorrow." Gu Dashan patted the sawdust on his body, put the woodworking tools into the suitcase, and walked into the house.
Gu Jinli glanced into the yard and saw that there were five piles of one-meter-long and wide wooden abrasives stacked in the yard, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dad, you have helped me a lot, if it weren't for the mosquito coil abrasives you made, I wouldn't be able to make this mosquito coil." ”
Gu Dashan's carpentry skills are excellent, and the mosquito coil grinding tools made are the same as those measured with a ruler, which is very consistent, and the difference is no more than the size of a needle.
Gu Dashan's carpentry work was not only done well, but also quickly, only half an hour after dinner in the evening, from July to late August, to help her make 200 mosquito coil grinding tools.
Each mosquito coil mill has 90 grooves, and if the grooves of 200 grinding tools were filled with mud, her pharmaceutical workshop could make nearly 20,000 mosquito coils in one piece.
But now there is not enough manpower in the pharmaceutical workshop, and the four brothers and sisters Mai Dong, Sanqi, and Ye Dakou can fill 100 mosquito coils and grinding tools with a maximum of 100 catties of medicinal mud to make 9,000 mosquito coils.
Even so, she can now make a net profit of thirty taels of silver just by selling mosquito coils.
Chen knew that Gu Jinli was making mosquito coils, and he also knew that mosquito coils were selling very well, and there were people in the county and Fucheng who came to the Hanging Pot Workshop to ask for mosquito coils, knowing that Gu Jinli must have made a profit, and he was so envious and jealous that he couldn't do it, and he was patting Gu Jinli's ass very much recently.
It's a pity that Gu Jinli, a pharmaceutical workshop, has to pinch it in his own hands, and he won't let several other families get his hands dirty, and no matter how much the Chen family slaps his ass, it's useless.
……
After the second time, Gu Jinli went to the pharmaceutical workshop early and followed Kan Liu to make scar removal cream and mosquito coils.
During this time, Gu Jinli and Kan Liu made another 150 bottles of scar removal cream, all of which were with a faint floral fragrance.
"Scar cream sells very well, listen to Cheng shopkeeper, the big families in Linhe Mansion like scar cream very much, and now as long as there is no shortage of money at home, a bottle will be prepared, in case there is a girl in the family who hurts her hands and face, etc., you can use it in time."
Yuanzi Pharmacy has a branch of a medicine store in Linhe Mansion, and the scar removal cream and mosquito coils made by Gu Jinli are first sold to the Hanging Pot Workshop, and then sold by the Hanging Pot Workshop to the Linhe Mansion Branch.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Linhe Mansion is called Cheng An, and Cheng Han next to Min Dongjia is of the same generation.
Scar removal cream is sold very expensive in Linhe Fucheng, asking for 25 taels of silver a bottle, but the big families in Fucheng are particular about it, and the girl's body cannot have scars, so scar removal cream is in short supply in Linhe Fu.
"Mosquito coils are also selling very well. These hanging pot shops came to the three medicine stores in Fucheng, all of them came to buy mosquito coils. Dr. Wu didn't sell it, but he had already signed a contract with other medicine stores, and the scar removal cream and mosquito coils had to be sold to the contracted pharmacy school."
When the people of the three medicine shops heard this, they were very angry, and the hanging pot shop did not make any money. Doctor Wu choked, there was no shortage of money in the hanging pot workshop, and he left angrily. ”
"Those people in the medicine store will not give up, Dr. Wu has already asked people to send a letter to the shopkeeper Cheng, and the shopkeeper Cheng will deal with it, let me tell the owner, they will not let those troubles run in front of the owner, and the owner can make medicine with peace of mind." Mu Tong tied up the mosquito coils that had been dried yesterday, and Gu Jin was wearing scar removal cream and mosquito coils.
"That's good, I hate trouble the most." Gu Jinli will cooperate with Yuanzi Medicine Store and give forty percent of his profits to Dr. Wu, just to find a backer who can solve his troubles.
"Fish, Brother Rui'er, they have sent green bricks, and they are waiting at the back door, you go and open the door for them." Gu Dashan came in through the corner door of the third entrance to the house, and said to Gu Jinli, who was stirring the mosquito coil mud.
The keys to the fourth and fifth houses were held by Gu Jinli, and Chang Errui wanted to pull the green bricks in from the back door, so Gu Jinli had to open the door.
"Here we are." Gu Jinli followed Gu Dashan to leave, went around to the back door of the Lu family's mansion, and when he came to the back door, he heard Gu Yumei's courteous voice.
Gu Yumei was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and said to Chang Errui with a crimson face: "Yuan, second brother of the Yuan family, you sent the green bricks early in the morning, and you must have set off for delivery before dawn, and you must have not eaten breakfast...... This is a bean dregs cake made at home, there are quite a lot of them, my second aunt and I will bring some to you, and you can eat as you like. ”
Gu Yumei didn't come alone, Chen also came.
